Position of Kyoto Club Model for next future Civilization

Abstract

Kyoto Club Model (KCM) is a simulation model on computer and studying and developing with fellows of NPO Synopsis Science Academia, now. This KCM is created as a tool for developing next future Civilization called as the fifth wave "Life Revolution". This Formation’s Model is a Sustainable cyclical society constructed on Mori-Sato-Umi (Woods Village Ocean). It is created as living spaces a river community connecting areas from upstream to downstream. The verification of our civilization sustainable condition on shown with Rome Club Simulation Model by Computer Science at 1973 year was showed. Over the next 40 years many people have been multifaceted verification, proposal and sometimes reporting on the current situation. Reading out the future of human beings from books and the like that they are published, and reading out the "life revolution" as a new civilization. Next, we outline the Kyoto club model, which is a new simulation model that can be civilized, and the new mathematical method and composition necessary for it. Finally, we show how to use this simulation model to create a new civilization. During 40 years after 1973 year, many people have been multifaceted verification, proposal and sometimes reporting on the current situation. Reading out the future of human beings from those books published, and make clear out the "life revolution" as a new civilization. Next, it is shown that the KCM is formed as "life revolution" and for it, the new mathematical method and composition are necessary. Finally, it is showed how to use this KCM to organize a new symbiosis civilization.

Tangible Interfaces and Multimedia to Enhance Sign Language Understanding

Abstract

National Sign Languages are a preferred way of communicating within communities of deaf people, and a number of resources are available providing full access to a wealth of knowledge. The language can be also learned by hearing people wishing to communicate, for example with relatives in this condition, in a way which is more natural for them. However, problems in comprehension of written text may still be present, especially as concerns abstract terms. This kind of problems is being tackled in several ways, for example providing enriched versions of a written text, referring to additional resources, such as examples of usage, Sign Language videos, sketched versions of the Sign Language using its Sign Writing rendition. In this talk we will report on the approaches used at Sapienza for enriching material, and for facilitating learning of Sign Language, in particular by showing an application for the activation of videos and holograms, based on the recognition of individual (starting) frames of a video showing the Sign Language version of a word,

Biography

Paolo Bottoni is Full Professor of Computer Science at the Sapienza University. His research interests are in formal methods for visual languages and interactive systems and in multimedia applications for digital annotation and for cultural heritage. Author of more than 200 publications, he has participated in national projects, where he has also acted as responsible of the Sapienza unit in two occasions, and in a European networks of excellence and in two research mobility projects, in one of them acting as reference for the Sapienza unit. He serves as a member of numerous international program committees, as member of the steering committee of three series of international conferences, and has been editor of special issues of international journals. He is member of the Editorial Board of three international journals. He has also promoted two series of workshops on topics related to modelling and development of languages in the domain of software engineering and Human Computer Interaction.
